My wife was happy. Have to bide my time a little longer for the smoker. And again, thanks for the tip. Wouldn't have known I could get the price so low.

No kidding. I'm under the impression there must be a new model on the horizon. My wife said she read on the Tuesday Morning ad that they got a bunch off a bankruptcy sale, hence the cheap price. Whatever the reason, worked out great for us! I think my first attachment is going to be the ice cream maker since it'd be essentially free after the Kohls Cash. I get a nice discount on accessories through my second job so I'll get the other stuff there. They'll have to fire me to ever leave that place, after next Sunday I don't work again until December 13th or something, yet I get to keep my awesome discount there. What a racket.

My wife is going to get one, I'll mess around with hers and see how much I like it. I really like the S3 and the Evo 4G, but the screen on the Evo makes it hard to hold cause it's too big. Looks nice though.

So it's almost definite now....I need to buy a new car, and it will probably happen in the next couple weekends during the multiple trips to NJ for wedding planning (since a certain fiancee's dad works at a Toyota dealership)....

The current ranking contender is the Prius c Three. Gonna completely destroy my cash flow. But my current car, feels like it's going to explode while I'm driving it lately.
But I've been wanting a Hybrid for awhile now, both for the gas savings and so I can drive the HOV lane to/from work.

Uh. I feel that you are still thinking like a single kinda guy with your choice. For future utility, I'd urge you to think about the regular Prius instead. The Prius V is probably overkill.

I tend to agree with this, but it is four doors so you could probably get a car seat back there without much issue. You know, provided there are to be little HAK's.

The future "utility" car will be when we eventually replace Cat's current car. What's needed right now is a commuter car for me (and one that can get me nicely back and forth from NJ pretty frequently). But if you guys are all willing to pool together the extra $4-5k for me to be able to afford the regular Prius....that may open up that option. But right now, I can't afford that much additional. It's gonna be a stretch just to get the cheaper Prius c.

I understand that completely. Wait til you throw kids, if you do, into that equation. I think the C will do just fine, like I said, it's four doors so you can get a seat back tehre if you need to.

Dang ... that seems like a huge price drop from when I last looked.

Although I have more Head (2"/5") & Shoulder (3.5"/3") room, and more leg (3") room in the Rear in my xB. And more interior volume (23.5 cu ft) overall. But less cargo (5.5 cu ft) room with the rear seats up.

Oops. Electrician is here.

Were you looking at the "c" last time or just the regular Prius? The regular is still at $25-30k. This is their slightly smaller, cheaper version.

Cargo volume on the c is 17.1, while it is 21.6 on the regular.
Interior volume on the c is 87.4, while 93.7 on the regular.
That's the main size difference.

I was looking at their regular one previously, but the measurements were from the C (used your link, too lazy to look up original).

So my measurements were from the C version with moonroof to my xB (with sun/moonroof).

My main thing was to make sure my 6'3" son and my 6'5" nephew could fit in the back seat comfortably.

With the back seat all the way back too.

I keep trying to picture a smoker with an ice cream maker attachment ...

Well, guess who will be driving up to the federal courthouse for the next couple of days? Yup, I was chosen for jury duty..... It's not too bad.... at least tomorrow I won't have to leave so early tomorrow morning..

Hey, Sparky . . . if there is a woot-off coming up and the Troubadour comes up, would you please text me? That was really good wine when we tasted it and it held up for a few days and continued to be really good. Unfortunately, we didn't get around to buying it when it was last offered. Thanks!

May our love be like good wine, grow stronger as it grows older. ~ Old English Toast

Buying phones is a joke. I was gonna get an S3, but now the S4 is gonna be out in February, so do I get one now or just wait. I'm gonna go with just wait. I got two batteries for my phone for six bucks so that will solve my battery problem in my current phone, then I'll get an S4 when it comes out. F'n phones!
